It has been a strange old season for Sunderland so far, hasnt it? Consistency has been hard to come by, although maybe that is just Alex DeBrincat Women Jersey what the Championship is. One thing that Sunderland have done extremely consistently, though, is score brilliant goals. In fact, its hard to remember such a flurry of goal of the season contenders. The only other time I can remember a spell like it was the first couple of months under Martin ONeill in 2012, and that feels like a very long time ago now.Six goals in particular stand out, so we thought it would be fun to review and rank them.This one is the only goal on our list that was scored at the Stadium of Light, which might lend weight to the argument that Sunderland do their best work on the counter-attack these days. It is also the only truly individual effort on the list, and what an effort it was too. After receiving the ball from Micheal Haley Women Jersey Ro s Stewart on the left touchline, Jack Clarke slalomed his way through four challenges before coolly slotting in the bottom corner. It was some goal, even though youd have to say that some of the defending was a little half-hearted.Amid the veritable plethora of brilliant goals Sunderland have scored this season, it often feels like Lynden Goochs strike at Sheffield United gets forgotten. A lot of that will be to do with the fact Sunderland lost the game, so the goal ultimately meant le s than the others. However, it was also in the Alex Neil era, which feels a little tainted now too, so that may also have something to do with it. It was a lovely strike, though. Ro s Stewart played his part before Gooch produced a sumptuous chip Martin Brodeur Jersey to get the ten-man Black Cats back in the game at Bramall Lane.That Reading game was brilliant fun, wasnt it? It looked like it was going to a disaster when Ellis Simms got injured, but Sunderland turned on some serious style to make light of the fact they had no strikers to play off. Roberts scored two brilliant goals that night, but its the second one that has made this list.Scroll to ContinueThere was the counter-attack, the pa sing, the little dummy to get it to Roberts, and the way he delayed his finish to make the last defender look an absolute amateur was just fantastic. That it is only number four on the list of Sunderlands best goals in the first 20 games of the season is utterly remarkable. This one was one Sidney Crosby Youth Jersey of those goals that was so much better than we all first realised. I mean, sure, we all drooled at the one-two between Roberts and Amad Diallo, but not many twigged that the move had started with the goalkeeper. Bailey Wrights threaded pa s to Ellis Simms was lovely, and from there the play between Roberts, Diallo and Pritchard was just brilliantly incisive football. It was particularly sweet for Pritchard, who was booed all night at his former club. Quite how the Sunderland fans at St Andrews celebrated Amad Diallos goal so noisily is a complete mystery to me, as my jaw was wide open in pure awe. The quickne s of feet, the non-existent back-lift as he struck it, the shape on the ball as it arrowed into the far corner it was all just so pretty. What made it even better was the midfield play from Dan Neil to release Amad in the first place. Darren Archibald Women Jersey We have seen some truly brilliant Sunderland goals in our time, such as Jermain Defoe against Newcastle or Carlos Edwards against Burnley for instance, but they have tended to be down to a moment of inspiration from individuals. Id wager that not many had ever seen us score a goal like Clarkes at Reading, though. From back to front it was outstanding one and two touch football that practically broke social media as the football world rushed to share it. Any team, at any level, playing on any stage would have been especially proud of it. It was that good.
